Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,55,856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,55,856 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 575,966,990
2 | 575, 966, 990 |
3 | 575, 483, 495 |
5 | 575, 161, 165 |
23 | 115, 161, 33 |
5, 7, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 23 x 5 x 7 x 33 = 796950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/796950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/575,55/966,856/990 is 1/796950
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 575,966,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(575,966,990) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 690
GCF(575,966,990) x common factors =1 x 690 = 690
LCM(575,966,990) = ( 575 × 966 × 990 ) / 690
LCM(575,966,990) = 549895500 / 690
LCM(575,966,990) = 796950
